How Ada sounds
Ada has two syllables, the most common rhythm for English first names. The last sound of Ada is a vowel, so the name fades out gently instead of stopping. Ada is built from soft, running sounds, which this scheme counts as water. Ada has been climbing in recent U.S. birth records, a sign that it feels fresh right now. In U.S. birth records Ada has been given mostly to girls.
The Saju view
Ada begins with a soft, open sound, so its leading sound counts as earth. In Saju, Ada carries earth. That makes it a natural choice for charts where earth is the thinnest of the five elements. Ada supports metal from behind: its earth sound is the traditional source of that element. A chart that already holds plenty of earth is better served by another name, since Ada would add to it.

The astrology view
Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces share the water element with the sound of Ada, so a Sun, Moon or rising sign in one of them gives the name its strongest ranking. Charts led by fire and air signs hear the water sound of Ada as a contrast, so it ranks lower there.
